Thanks for the pointers Amos.

Hopefully I'm going to attempt to do it this way;

1) Export the file from the Windows server as a .pfx file
2) Separate the private key from the .pfx file;
        openssl pkcs12 -in windows.pfx -out outputfile.txt -nodes
3) Extract the private key from outputfile.txt and store it as private.key
4) Then add the line to Squid;
        https_port 443 cert=/usr/newrprgate/CertAuth/verisign.cert key=/usr/newrprgate/CertAuth/private.key defaultsite=mywebsite.mydomain.com vhost

Where;
private.key = the original private key of the Windows server that generated the original request
verisign.cert = the wildcard certificate back from Verisign

Can anybdy see any immediate faults with doing it this way?

Thanks

John
